Girl Friday - 12/03/2010 - Dale Strong

This week's Girl Friday isn't as famous as many of the others, but I was smitten the first time I saw her photograph. Way back in March of 1952, she graced the cover of Life Magazine as the Prettiest Showgirl on Broadway:

Hit the Jump Link for evidence in support of her title...

I don't know much about her, but she looks like you wish all showgirls looked. I do know that as of a couple of years ago she was still alive in her 80's.

Wow... maybe not as famous, but very beautiful!! I would have been quite enamoured as well... she has a certain something.

I wanted to read about her, but couldn't find her. I think the last name is 'Strong' and not 'Stong'.

Doh! Thanks, Tango. I had spelled it correctly in the post title, but then typo'd it in the body of the post. It's corrected now. I couldn't find much personal info on her when I first put this post together. I did find a post on another site from her Grandson (IIRC) saying she was still living.
